The first question is, do you have any other OSen like MS-Win or possibly a diagnostic utility put there by a vendor using up a primary slice or two? The primary divisions of a disk in FreeBSD are the slices (unless you make one of those 'dangerously dedicated disks' which you don't really want to do). The slices are then [sub]divided in to partitions. There can be up to 4 primary slices numbered 1..4 and each slice can be divided in up to 8 partitions labeled a..h - with partition 'c' reserved to describe the whole slice and usually partition 'b' used for swap. So, effectively there are up to 6 partitions allowed per slice. So, if you haven't already used up all 4 slices, then just make more than 1 slice at the fdisk stage and divide each up with enough partitions to suit your situations. ////jerry > > Thanx guys.... > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
